The Father Wound: Why Your Body Still Reacts to Him (Attachment, Faith & Nervous System Healing)
Your hands shake around certain men. You flinch at a tone of voice you can't place. You perform for approval you'll never get enough of — or you can't stop chasing it. This is the father wound, and it's not a character flaw. It's an attachment injury your nervous system built to survive.
In this episode, I break down:
✅ What the father wound actually is, clinically — not the buzzword version
✅ How early attachment wiring becomes an "internal working model" your body carries into adulthood
✅ Spiritual projection — how a wounded father image quietly distorts the way you relate to God
✅ The R.E.S.T. Framework (Recognize, Explore, Soothe, Trust) applied specifically to father wound healing
✅ A guided somatic practice to regulate your nervous system in real time
✅ A closing prayer and 7-day challenge to start healing this week
This isn't "just pray more" content. This is trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware, and rooted in faith — because your healing deserves both the clinical truth and the spiritual anchor.
